More Black Friday mayhem? Little Cindy trampled by a throng of overzealous bargain hunters at the local Walmart? What a surprise! 4,000 sleep deprived douchebags amped up on triple shot espresso and Red Bull, waiting for the doors to open so they can all descend upon a single discounted Xbox like a pack of hyenas tearing at an antelope carcass -- what's the problem???
Hey Mom & Dad, just a thought: wanna ensure the tykes' safety? Try taking 'em somewhere just a tad less violent and unpredictable -- like the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, or a mixer with the Crips and the Bloods. Seriously, getting shanked, pepper sprayed, or beaten senseless with a sockful of quarters is no way to usher in the holiday season. Remember: When it's on your mind, it's on eBay.

Why do we spend a lot of money we don't have on people we only see once a year for an experience that leaves us feeling as let down as a drained helium balloon? Why not create an alternative to the consumer Christmas spirit? Oh, right. Then Christmas would return to being a religious holiday and that's not politically or economically correct. *Sigh*
